Joel Lund
Aloha Publishing, 2012, $14.95
For the animal lover in anyone, a book on the lessons and ways of animals can be simple in style but deep and profound in take-aways. Joel Lund’s book does a very good job in interweaving Walton’s stories with biblical and practical truth that people of any age to take and apply to their lives. This book is fabulous for the tweener in your church program or home, as well as a great gift to the adult who loves animals.

I read Watson’s Way in one sitting. Because it was written by a dog, I figured it would be fairly easy to understand. I may not go to the dogs for my deepest theology, but I did find that Watson’s Way offered many biblical truths that were easy to sink my teeth into. It is quirky, funny and spiritual all at once. I have to say my 11-year-old son really enjoyed it, and it opened up a lot of doors for dialogue. On the negative side…he now wants a dog.
